|
|
|
|
[Please see ticket #8 for more information](https://github.com/UMSKT/UMSKT/issues/8)
|
|
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
### **FAQ**
|
|
|
|
#### **What does it do?**
|
|
|
|
* This program is a tool for researching and experimenting with retro Microsoft product licensing, for products released before 2012.
|
|
|
|
#### **How does it work?**
|
|
|
|
* [Enderman's XPKeygen Readme explains everything in detail.](https://github.com/Endermanch/XPKeygen)
|
|
|
|
#### **How do I use it?**
|
|
|
|
* It all comes down to four simple steps:
|
|
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
### System Requirements
|
|
#### MS-DOS
|
|
* i386 processor or better
|
|
* MS-DOS 6.22 or later
|
|
* Any DOS-based version of Windows
|
|
* Windows NT 4.0 or later (via NTVDM)
|
|
#### Windows (x86/x64)
|
|
* i686 processor or better
|
|
* Windows XP or later
|
|
|
|
> [!WARNING]
|
|
> Processors barely meeting the minimum system requirements for XP may not work. Use the MS-DOS version via NTVDM in that case.
|
|
|
|
#### Windows (ARM32/64)
|
|
* Windows 11 21H2 or later
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> This is just all we can test. Try to get it to run on Windows RT, make an issue if it doesn't run and we'll try to fix it.
|
|
#### macOS
|
|
* Apple Silicon or x86_64 processor
|
|
* Latest version of macOS
|
|
#### Linux
|
|
* modern ARM, x86, or x86_64 processor
|
|
* Latest version of your Linux distro
|
|
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
### **Usage**
|
|
#### 1. Download the latest version of UMSKT
|
|
|
|
* *(GitHub account required)*
|
|
* Download the latest experimental version using the Actions tab ([Windows](../../actions/workflows/windows.yml?query=branch%3Amaster+is%3Asuccess), [Linux](../../actions/workflows/linux.yml?query=branch%3Amaster+is%3Asuccess), [macOS](../../actions/workflows/macos.yml?query=branch%3Amaster+is%3Asuccess), [FreeBSD](../../actions/workflows/freebsd.yml?query=branch%3Amaster+is%3Asuccess), [DOS DJGPP](../../actions/workflows/dos-djgpp.yml?query=branch%3Amaster+is%3Asuccess))
|
|
|
|
|
|
* *(GitHub account \*not\* required)*
|
|
* Download the latest release for your operating system and architecture from [the releases page](../../releases)
|
|
|
|
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
|
> Before continuing, please ensure you have the `umskt` executable extracted and on UNIX-like systems, have execution permissions (`chmod +x umskt`).
|
|
|
|
#### 2. Run `umskt` to generate a key, or add `--help` or `-h` to see more options.
|
|
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
|
> On macOS, like all unsigned executables, you'll need to hold Ctrl while right clicking and selecting Open to actually open it.
|
|
|
|
#### 3. *(Activation step for `Retail` and `OEM` only)*
|
|
* After installation, you will be prompted to activate Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Select the **telephone activation** method, then, run `umskt -i <Installation ID>` using the `Installation ID` the activation Wizard provides for you
|
|
* If you're activating a non-Windows product, use `umskt -i <Installation ID> -m <Product>`, where `<Product>` is one of `OFFICEXP`, `OFFICE2K3`, `OFFICE2K7`, or `PLUSDME`
|
|
* If activating Office 2003/2007, use `umskt -i <Installation ID> -m <Product> -p <Product ID>`
|
|
|
|
#### 4. Profit!
